Washington Oct 18,-i-A saving, es. tlmated at $1,000,000 annually to the pensioners of the United States and eventually about $180,000 a year to the government, Is contemplated by simplified plan for the payment of pension without vouchers which Commissioner of Pensions J. L. Dav enport .submitted to the Secretary of the Interior In his annual report made public today. During the year $167, 825,160 was paid as pensions, a de crease of $3,498,154 from last year, bringing up the total amount paid in pensions since the foundation of the government to $4,230,881,730. There were 55,185 names dropped from the rolls and 28,000 added, leaving a net loss of 28,985 pensioners and making the total number at the end of the year 892,098, the smallest since 1892 Methods of economy resulted in a de crease of the cost of administration by $140,948 to $2,517,127, the lowest since 1882. Work Much Simplified. Commissioner Davenport's plan which waa devised at the request of congress and which will require the passage of a law by that body to car ry It Into effect, would greatly slmpll fy the methods of paying pensions, re. suit In the mailing of pension checks ntlil'drfte) trpdn which th pension falls due. eliminate the cost to the pensioners In a large majority of cases of the execution of pension vouchers. which varies from $1 to $3 yearly decrease, to a considerable, extent the work in drawing and mailing of pen Ion check and eliminate the sending of 4,000.000 letter yearly through the malls, saving about $80,000 thereby. The plan contemplate payment di rect by check,. mailed to the last ad dress of the pensioner. Co-operation from the postofflce department In de llverlng the letters containing the checks would be required. Besides the Indorsement on the back of these checks, the government would re quire, under thla plan, certification by two witnesses to the Identity of the person obtaining th money. Some Vouchors Still Required, In a few Instances, Commissioner Davenport said, voucher stilt would be required. Where pensioner were laboring under legal disabilities, would require a voucher., of guardian. - Where widows draw he the pay for minor children : vouchers " would be required under the Davenport plan. v Commissioner Davenport told- of his efforts to ascertain the truthfulness of report In the press and elsewhere that the pension' roll -' was honey lombed with fraud. . He sent field men from pensioner to pensioner Jn the Washington-agency, and la now doing the same In the Knoxvllle agency, with a view ot ascertaining the pres ence of fraud. Out of a total of 47, 181 pensioners seen and questioned only 26 cases of improper pensioning were revealled. Five widows name were dropped from the roll, one on the ground that she was not the legal widow of a sol dler. The name of two Invalid pen loner were dropped because It was shown that they deserted from former service and received bounties for re enlistment Two person were arrest' ed on charges of being bogun special examiners and two others were re ported as wanted. . The commissioner said he believed the check system would put an end to any fraud that may now exist ?! umber on Peiwiion Roll. The number of soldiers and sailors on the pension roll at the close of the fiscal year was 670.060; dependents and widows, 421,642, and army nurses, 408. .'; There were 628,884 sur vlvors of the Civil War, 36,243 havln died during, the year.
